Intel launched yesterday Thunderbolt technology that allows high-resolution images and data to travel along at speeds of over 10 gigabytes. At this speed an HD movie can be transferred in less than 30 seconds. This same technology has been developed by Intel in collaboration with Apple and is currently already available on the new MacBook Pro technology Thunderbolt, formerly known as "Light Peak", uses two types of protocols: PCI Express and DisplayPort, where the first relates to data transfer, while the second display.
The connection between devices equipped with technology Thunderbolt takes place through a common connector and via electrical cables or optical. Clearly, with this data transfer rates, waiting times derived from the transfer of media files are significantly reduced. In practice, the upcoming laptop that will be designed using this technology will have a connector that will suit the capabilities of high-speed multimedia and HD display at home or in office.
At the time, as well as Apple, have already mnolte companies that have announced to back the new technology, among them there are Aja, Apogee, Avid, Blackmagic, LaCie, Western Digital Promise.
